Genetic diversity is a fundamental measure of a populations ability to adapt to future
environmental change. Subpopulations may carry unique genetic lineages that contribute to …

The black rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis L.) is a critically endangered species historically
distributed across sub-Saharan Africa. Hunting and habitat disturbance have diminished …

Large vertebrates are extremely sensitive to anthropogenic pressure, and their populations
are declining fast. The white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum) is a paradigmatic case: this …

Africa's black (Diceros bicornis) and white (Ceratotherium simum) rhinoceros are closely
related sister-taxa that evolved highly divergent obligate browsing and grazing feeding …

Online image repositories can offer a freely accessible, information‐rich and cost‐effective
alternative to museum collections for studying long‐term changes in human interactions with …

The leopard (Panthera pardus) is facing the threat of continued population decline across its
range. In order to inform more effective conservation management programs, genetic …

Often conservationists suffer from the 'shifting base line syndrome'. We illustrate this by
elucidating the natural history of Tanzania's northern Rift Valley over the past centuries …

Abstract Critically endangered Hooded Vultures (Necrosyrtes monachus Temminck, 1823),
like many vulture species globally, are experiencing rapid population declines due to …

Abstract The Javan rhinoceros (Rhinoceros sondaicus) is one of five extant rhinoceros
species and among the rarest large mammals on Earth. Once widespread across Southeast …

Dating population divergence within species from molecular data and relating such dating to
climatic and biogeographic changes is not trivial. Yet it can help formulating evolutionary …
